Ocean Spirit of Moray is a ketch run by Gordonstoun School to teach students seamanship in the Moray Firth and the seas north of Scotland. All pupils spend some time practising seamanship locally from Hopeman on the Moray Firth in preparation for a cruise off the west coast of Scotland aboard the Ocean Spirit in which every fourth former and member of the lower sixth spends a week in the autumn or summer terms.
The Ocean Spirit replaced the Sea Spirit, which took part for ten years in the Scottish Three Peaks race, where a team of six racers join the boat to race over the hills of Mull, Jura and Arran.
Ocean Spirit is a regular in the Tall Ships' Races and has taken part in every stage of the Tall Ships 2000 transatlantic race.
